Green Events, organisers from Llanwrtyd Wells are gearing up for this year’s Welsh Open Stone Skimming Championships.

The Championships take place at Abernant Lake, near to the Manor Adventure outdoor activity centre, just outside of Llanwrtyd Wells.

This year’s event is on Sunday, May 25, starting at 10.30am with several categories from age six and upwards.

A spokesperson for organisers’ Green Events, who are also behind the running of the annual World Bog Snorkelling Championships, said: “The rules are quite simple. Competitors will throw three stones from a designated area by the lake.

“All stones must skim the surface of the water a minimum of three times. The winner will be the person whose stone travels the furthest distance!

“The event is suitable for all ages from six to one hundred and six.”
